 ot to be confused with the Derby of England (that is also pronounced "dar-bee"), this pub pays homage to the magestic beast of the West, the horse. Appropriately located in the hometown of the Calgary Stampede, relics and effigies paying homage to equine sport are littered throughout the pub from the coat-of-arms to the bronzed polo jockey to the friendly portrait of the red-coat rider tipping his hat to local patrons all to create an air of country gentrification.
A beautiful pool table with an array of cues (should you be challenged to a duel) is on hand to prove your mastery of this old boy’s game. Of course, if you leave the table in shame an assortment of beers are on tap to numb the pain your ego has suffered. The menu is enhanced by drink specials throughout the week, and the Sunday All-Day Happy Hour guarantees a good Monday (try not to convince yourself otherwise.
